National Emergency Strategic Stockpile
  • This page examines the Canada's National Emergency Strategic Stockpile (NESS), which is maintained by the Public Health Agency of Canada and is intended to provide additional supplies to the provinces and territories during emergency situations.
  • The supplies can include medical equipment/supplies, pharmaceuticals, and social service supplies like beds and blankets.
  • The NESS was originally created in response to the Cold War but has since grown to address larger health emergencies like diseases, natural disasters and biological/radiological threats over the past decade and has been used as a protective measure at international summits held in Canada.
